Great for those weeknight meals.

    I don't have a garden, and when I buy broccoli, all the leaves have been trimmed off. Could you make this with baby spinach or other dark greens instead?

      Oh yes! You can use any dark green leafy veggies as a replacement for the broccoli leaves. I would stick with swiss chard or baby spinach. I have tried this dish with both of them. Make sure you put extra spinach leaves in because it shrinks down. Let me know how it goes.
